2'-O-methylation plays an important biological role in gene expression. Owing to the explosive increase in genomic sequencing data, it is necessary to develop a method for quickly and efficiently identifying whether a sequence contains the 2'-O-methy...
MOTIVATION: MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding RNAs that function in RNA silencing and post-transcriptional regulation of gene expression by targeting messenger RNAs (mRNAs). Because the underlying mechanisms associated with miRNA binding to mRN...
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are ~ 22 nucleotide ubiquitous gene regulators. They modulate a broad range of essential cellular processes linked to human health and diseases. Consequently, identifying miRNA targets and understanding how they function are critic...
Different ribonucleic acids (RNAs) can interact to form regulatory networks that play important role in many life activities. Molecular biology experiments can confirm RNA-RNA interactions to facilitate the exploration of their biological functions, ...
Antiviral defenses are one of the significant roles of RNA interference (RNAi) in plants. It has been reported that the host RNAi mechanism machinery can target viral RNAs for destruction because virus-derived small interfering RNAs (vsiRNAs) are fou...
In this study, the authors compared the efficiency of automated robotic and manual injection methods for the CRISPR-RfxCas13d (CasRx) system for mRNA knockdown and Cas9-mediated DNA targeting in zebrafish embryos. They targeted the no tail () gene as...
Systematic characterization of biological effects to genetic perturbation is essential to the application of molecular biology and biomedicine. However, the experimental exhaustion of genetic perturbations on the genome-wide scale is challenging. Her...
The clinical adoption of small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) has prompted the development of various computational strategies for siRNA design, from traditional data analysis to advanced machine learning techniques. However, previous studies have inadequ...
RNA interference (RNAi) technology is widely used in the biological prevention and control of terrestrial insects. One of the main factors with the application of RNAi in insects is the difference in RNAi efficiency, which may vary not only in differ...
